Biography
John Nance was a Mormon accountant, and he worked for the Chicago Outfit in Las Vegas, Nevada. Nance served as the Mafia's bagman, collecting millions of dollars from several casinos' off-limits counting rooms in suitcases; he bribed the guard to allow for him to "skim" some money for the Mafia. Nance would bring the money to the Mafia bosses in Kansas City, the closest that they could get to Las Vegas without getting arrested, and would meet with bosses like Joey Aiuppa in the back of a grocery store. In 1982, his son was busted for drugs, and the Mafia feared that he would turn states to save his son. Nance, who was in hiding in Costa Rica, was whacked by the Mafia, eliminating a potential witness.
